Add marker to Google Map on Click
This is actually a documented feature, and can be found here
// This event listener calls addMarker() when the map is clicked.
google.maps.event.addListener(map, 'click', function(e) {
placeMarker(e.latLng, map);
});
function placeMarker(position, map) {
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: position,
map: map
});
map.panTo(position);
}
After much further research, i managed to find a solution.
google.maps.event.addListener(map, 'click', function(event) {
placeMarker(event.latLng);
});
function placeMarker(location) {
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: location,
map: map
});
}
In 2017, the solution is:
map.addListener('click', function(e) {
placeMarker(e.latLng, map);
});
function placeMarker(position, map) {
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: position,
map: map
});
map.panTo(position);
}
